That is definitely awesome. I had a question though, don't you get bad wind noise with your roof rack? I only went about a day before I just had to put a fairing on mine.



Surprisingly I don't get any wind noise. Must be the shape of the bike racks I have up top.

And thanks for the kind words guys. Needless to say I'm stoked and it feels so good to finally be able to drive this car to its full potential.

Contrats James! Finally getting some numbers out of that thing. Any trips to the track planned? As far as wind noise, I had a whistle too until I put on the fairing.

Awesome car! Unfortunately, I was unable to properly view the youtube video of the dyno... maybe reupload?

I'd love to see what this does on pump gas for the sake of comparison. I've been very curious what the FP 35R bolt on turbos make for power, you are the only one I know of who has one. That turbo should be good for 40psi, you should easily make over 600awhp on that.

I'm battling blowout issues right now, it is intermittent and did get better when I replaced the plugs and gapped them way down 15 thousandths range, but I am on a completely stock ignition that once held up to 34psi, so I have some issues to work out.

Good work and keep us posted!

Whoops, I'm a little dyslexic. I used to have a 68HTA, cut me some slack. 68.. 86... whats the difference? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Well the car made right about 500 at 21psi, then 550 at 26, so I think 30-33psi should make 600. Also, I'm changing the intake manifold so I'm sure that will help too.

I was curious about the turbo too. I really like it so far. It's amazing on the street, I have an evo3 taller 5th, and if I'm cruising at 60-65 I can just accelerate out of it, easy. No need to downshift.
